Responses to Social and Economic Barriers to Health Questions
Social needs screening data contributes to conversations about care coordination and creating and supporting services that address these needs in Southwestern Colorado. As area healthcare facilities screen patients about food security, housing, safety, and transportation, we get a more comprehensive picture of those things affecting wellness in our region.
|
|
Last week, SWCAHEC posted the following graph and solicited local readings of the data. What does the data tell us about our community members and how can that information help us address these needs in our organizations and programs?
|
|
|
Quite a few respondents addressed surprise at the number of social needs reported by 19-21 year olds in our region. Some suggested potential programming related to social determinants of health in our local college settings and others expressed an interest in increased vigilance for young people in their practices. Conversely, many were not surprised by the high numbers of needs for the 21-64 year old age group. Programming available for children and elderly community members often address social needs and the increased pressure of family responsibilities on adult community members are revealed in a higher reporting of needs.
|
The numbers that are revealed through social needs screening can be used to inform our decisions about programs and support but they only tell part of the story when thinking about developing responses to patient and client needs in our rural region. Local expertise cautions against using numbers alone as small sample sizes and support staff who wear many hats means a creative response to community needs.
|
One respondent offered, “Although there are many "models" for addressing needs, I have found that in rural Colorado it is difficult to pick one model. I have observed far more success by choosing an approach which allows for flexibility when addressing need. It is rare that our smaller community sizes have the sample needed for more "evidence-based models" and we need to be able to adapt based on case-by-case presentation.”
